Cisnadioara is a small village in Romania, situated near to Cisnadie city in the county of  Sibiu. It's a very beautiful, natural area where I found peace and cosiness.        There are sheep on the meadow and the shepherd is only 14 years old! He appeared to me a bit  shy and  self- contained.   However, his grand father  is very kind and sociable and allowed me to take some pictures around on his sheep.     In Cisnadioara there are many villas and pensions  where you can rest during holidays.  All around is full of hills and forests, very calm, healthy environment.  Each year, the village Hall  and other entities are  organizing cultural events (as painting and photography exhibitions, concerts, charity events, music competitions).

There are films to raise awareness in world, films that want to give a message of changing mentalities, films that are produced with the hope of getting a little change in the society.  Today I would like to talk about two of them that I had the opportunity to see during the Cannes Film Festival at Bucharest. 1.

Most of them face with social atrocities, poverty, imprisonment, unemployment, threats and fear only because they show the political issues through the  cartoons they draw  and publish them in newspapers or on the internet. Persecution on cartoonists is still  happening in Russia, Venezuela, Tunis,  Mexico, Alger, Israel and in many more countries. Most of them spent time in jail or lost their job because of the cartoons they published. Some of them moved out of the country, requesting  political asylum in other regions.
